At least 30 people were killed late Monday when a suicide car bomb rocked the town of Salmiyeh in the central province of Hama, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said, DPA reported.
The Observatory said civilians were among the dead and dozens others were wounded and that fatalities could rise well over 50 because some of the injured were in critical condition.
Syria's State news agency SANA reported on the blast, but said only that a "terrorist attack in Salmiyeh, left a number of people killed and others wounded."
